Outside of the Cleveland Indians, the American League Central sucks. I’m sorry if this is how you found out. It’s rather historic, in many respects. The Indians are the only team above .500 and it’s not particularly close. The Twins are clearly the second-best team, only they’re doing it without Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano, […]

The region includes some real talent in the college ranks this season, with a pair of teams carrying multiple draft prospects. I’ve already written a little about the pair of possible 1st round prospects in Alec Bohm and Greyson Jenista from Wichita State, but they’re not the only highly ranked pairing in the area. As with […]

The national media and baseball community has grabbed onto a story this offseason about the Royals involvement in fighting what they call the “new drug” in pornography and done to it what some who watch too much porn may do (you can use your imagination). That’s a story that national outlets with little background in this […]

There is not likely to be a prospect in this year’s upcoming draft who brings five-tool potential to the table the way that this Wisconsin gym rat does. The product of his father’s indoor training facilities, the same facilities that former Wisconsin Badgers defensive lineman J.J. Watt has trained in. With access to those facilities at his […]

It happens often to prospects that don’t rocket through a system […]

In 1987, the draft was just a tad bit longer than it is today. That year the Royals would select 74 players as the other teams all bowed out in the 71st round or earlier before the Royals were the last team to wave the white flag. After drafting the franchise’s 2nd most valuable player […]

It’s no secret the Royals are in the market to rebuild their farm system in 2018, and likely the next year or two after as they look to get into rebuilding into a winner. With a strong 2018 draft class and as many as six picks in the top 65 selections in the draft, Dayton Moore […]

Reading between the lines of what Jeffrey Flanagan wrote at Royals.com leads me to believe the Royals are very close, or have a deal in place, to trade Danny Duffy. Don’t be shocked if they are just mulling the options on whether or not to pull the trigger based on Eric Hosmer finishing a deal […]

This offseason, the Royals face plenty of big decisions in terms of trading some key players on the 25-man roster or attempting to re-sign free agents once on their roster. These decisions will surely lead to the front office examining their current Triple-A and Double-A rosters to decide who is worthy of major league consideration. […]
